Welcome to Litsy!

I picked this up because it was written by one of my professors from back in the day. It's just such a lovely, fascinating, and engaging read. If you don't just love reading books but love thinking about books, I highly recommend this one

Finishing up this one tonight! This book was an absolute delight! If course, reading is always better with a kitten in your lap! 😽📚💕 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel

"The relationships books seemed to enable our relationships between the reader and the characters. These relationships can be intensely emotional, as we see ourselves in the characters, or find ourselves falling a little in love with them, or discover that we love to hate them. And if the author writes in some version of his or her own voice, then we may feel a range of emotions towards the author too, like a deep emotional connection."

Another book that Chaplin has claimed for his own! 😸💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin

Wow! Today I received this wonderful surprise birthday package from the ever kind and generous @Come-read-with-me !!! Thank you so so so much, Paula! I'm super excited about this book, which I've been wanting to read for a long time! I'm also hyped to start this bookish puzzle and the bookmark is absolutely gorgeous! 😍 Thank you so much for thinking of me! I'm so grateful for our friendship! 💕📚💕

A book about books! “It‘s about how books transform us as individuals. It‘s about how books -and readers have evolved over time. And it‘s about why, even with the arrival of other media, books still have the power to change our lives.” It‘s a love letter to books and the people who love them.

I have questions about the author's assertion that "Women who picked up their work basket full of scraps, needles and thread with one hand must often have picked up a book with the other". If he means that literally, I must assume he's never in his life tried to sew so much as a stitch, and definitely not embroidery. I don't know how you'd manage to read while sewing, and trust me, I have tried!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

I nice meditation on what books mean to individual, societies and culture. Tom Mole considers books not just as texts but as objects and how their materiality affects them and us. He discusses their changing forms and roles and how these might continue to change in an increasingly digital world. As someone who switches often between ebooks and physical books it was nice to see something other than a knee-jerk rejection of the digital format.

I think littens can relate to this!
